****** once treated me to the battlefield origin of pulling guard. Apparently it's a Koryu sword disarming technique, called Fubi or Hissaku.

I plan to write an article about Samurai jumping guard and collar choking each other someday.

I would read it .

Now the real question is whether monkey kungfu and drunken boxing can become effective if trained properly.

hmmm ... I have a method of " Drunken Korean Monkey Boxing " not sure how I could train it any more improperly , and it seems to do ok when I need it .

With my limited experience from both BJJ and BBT I can say that some things that are taught in BBT are very similiar to what BJJ teaches (throws, basically).. The difference is, that BBT guys didn't teach how to do them properly. They just kind of assumed that you'd get it by yourself one day where as BJJ instructor was there whipping my ass until my throw at least weakly resembled the real thing.
